I like boutique hotels and I enjoy the older furniture and designs but generally the boutique hotels are nicely fitted an upgraded for comfort. I stayed away n this hotel in winter and one would expect the heat system be set to a comfortable level. The first night the temperature was so hot that I had to wake up and open the windows since there is no control in the room. The second night was so cold that I shivered most of the night and had a headache in the morning. This is not cool and reasonable for a hotel with these reviews

The decor and ambiance reflect a distinct retro-Victorian style. The warmth in our room was generated by a traditional hot water system. It proved to be quite effective. Pleasant art displayed in the entrance hall. The employees are extremely supportive. The restaurant and bar are excellent facilities.

Loved the decor and the staff and service was friendly and food in the restaurant was good. The rooms were on the warm side, we opened the window a smidge which helped, thank goodness there is no bugs! Nice to have parking on site and we had a small car, but was pretty tight.

Have stayed here a number of times. It is an older hotel with plenty of character. If you are expecting ultra modern facilities then this is not for you. It is a lovely place to stay and the staff are very helpful with any concerns you may have. We will be back.
